Would it not have been easier to pre-filter with, say, grep and pipe that result into awk?

What precision and scale did you specify for the Decimal data type? Did you try increasing this when the "insufficient precision" message occurred?

A Lookup File Set has to be prepared to support range lookups when it is being created. The Range Lookup property is set to "Yes" which exposes three properties Bounded Column, Lower Bound and Upper Bound. The Options folder has two useful properties - Allow Duplicates and Diskpool.

I guess you will just have to wait until next time U logs in here.

The second person personal pronoun in English is spelled "you". U is one of our posters.

It's very odd that a single byte is being reported as a problem in a two-bytes-per-character code set (GB2312). Does your row contain an odd number of bytes?

Actually this is probably the correct forum for a question about the internal WriteHash() function.

There are several possible causes for failure to write to a hashed file, including an illegal key (null or one that contains mark characters) or a corrupted hashed file.

You can restrict the large table SELECT to those rows that fall between the largest and smallest dates in your driver data. Then you should be able to perform a range lookup.

Performance statistics are not preserved in any location that the Director can access. You can probably access historical performance data in Metadata Workbench (and possibly through the Reporting Console).
